Rewrite ‘with pkgs.lib’ -> ‘with lib’ Using pkgs.lib on the spine of module evaluation is problematic because the pkgs argument depends on the result of module evaluation. To prevent an infinite recursion, pkgs and some of the modules are evaluated twice, which is inefficient. Using ‘with lib’ prevents this problem. 2014-04-14 10:26:48 -04:00			`{ config, lib, pkgs, ... }:`

Update all legacy-style modules I.e., modules that use "require = [options]". Nowadays that should be written as { options = { ... }; config = { ... }; }; Also, use "imports" instead of "require" in places where we actually import another module. 2013-09-04 07:05:09 -04:00			`imports =`

nixos: introduce system.nixosLabel option and use it where appropriate Setting nixosVersion to something custom is useful for meaningful GRUB menus and /nix/store paths, but actuallly changing it rebulids the whole system path (because of `nixos-version` script and manual pages). Also, changing it is not a particularly good idea because you can then be differentitated from other NixOS users by a lot of programs that read /etc/os-release. This patch introduces an alternative option that does all you want from nixosVersion, but rebuilds only the very top system level and /etc while using your label in the names of system /nix/store paths, GRUB and other boot loaders' menus, getty greetings and so on. 2015-09-18 12:50:48 -04:00			`isoImage.isoName = "${config.isoImage.isoBaseName}-${config.system.nixosLabel}-${pkgs.stdenv.system}.iso";`

nixos-iso: Use a simpler disk label When formatting a nixos usb using my windows machine I noticed that the disk labeling using periods was not compatible with my linux kernel / udev recognition. When labeling a volume NIXOS_14.10 under Windows, it would show up as NIXOS_14_10 on NixOS. This meant that /dev/root would never come up at boot time, preventing the livecd from starting. This patch works around this issue by eliminating any special characters other than underscores. The previous versioning didn't seem all that useful, especially when consdering there are many different version of the year.month named iso. 2014-06-05 16:51:43 -04:00			`isoImage.volumeID = substring 0 11 "NIXOS_ISO";`

nixos: iso-image: use syslinux bootloader for USB booting support This changes the bootloader for iso generation from Grub to syslinux. In addition this adds USB booting support, so that "dd" can be used to burn the generated ISO to USB thumbdrives instead of needing applications like UnetBootin. 2014-10-26 16:29:04 -04:00			`# USB booting`
